Don't understand the must party for FATE part... I pretty much solo FATE'd majority of my classes to 50.
I do see alot of FATE parties on my server but never joined any - and the less people on, the easier the FATEs get.

Yea same here, I haven't done any FATEs with a party or full party but for what I've heard is that you get a boost on exp but no idea how much or if true. I just go from lv 1 to 50 solo and after that, I just look at videos and guides to get the full picture of the job in a raid or dungeon situation.
on my server the ques for dps is max 15min. Im ok with that vs 90 min when ninja was released.
If you don't level up a DoL or DoH class during the day, do at least 6 leves. You will have those again next day.
I don't know, I just leveled my NIN up, and on the offtimes of my server, too (some waits were an hour and a half for a dungeon...ugh).
What I'd do was... DR daily bonus. Guildhest roulette daily bonus. Hunting log. Challenge log. Queue for the two lastest-unlocked dungeon (slower than roulette but p much guaranteed half a level).
Took maybe bout a week and a half.
Begging the devs to fix a problem created by the community will not work. Everyone wants to be a dps its the same in every game and will not change, i can tell you as a tank there is literally nothing they can offer me to get me to rerun lower dungeons again. If i do it its as a favor to a friend or guild mate, your only solution is to ask to be carried in by a tank or healer friend or someone who happens to be lvling at the same time. I capped ninja at the peak of its popularity so i have seen it at its worse, since everyone i knew was doing the same grouping was pointless so i just did fates and leves while queued. The endeavor wasn't important enough to me to bother people for help but it is the only advice i can give you since S.E. will do nothing for it.
FATE parties are a relic of the launch month, when people found out that grinding (or rather, zerging) FATEs were actually better EXP than leveling through the main quest and side quests. During that time, solo FATE grinding was not viable because FATEs end so fast, you'd get at best a bronze and very little EXP.
In the current state, there's no reason to require a party to grind FATEs, although I suspect that for a solo grinder it's better to move to different zones after a while to avoid the FATEs scaling up.
I am leveling all my dps classes now, got my BLM to 50 a week ago and now I have leveled all the remaning dps classes to 35. OP is right when she says that the DF waiting time is taking to long for dps classes. I have to wait around 30-50 minutes to enter a dungeon and the queue is at its worst when you enter the level 35-44 level range. I hope they fix this, but atleast with the expansion, we should see a rise of new classes being leveled, so the DF should be more active when Heavensward releases.
My advice is to do FATES solo while waiting you are in a queue. Another thing that you can do is level your crafting and gathering classes. I am leveling my gathering and crafting classes while waiting, you will be suprised how much you get done, when you are waiting in a queue for 40 min.
If you are able, /shout in leveling areas, you might find other players doing FATES, recruit them and do a dungeon toghter. I did this and I was able to get from 30-35 in 3 hours.

Thats all you did was think about it? Why not just try it, seems at this point you have nothing to lose. All you really need is a tank or healer to party with and you're good. Who knows someone could be leveling one of those but since they don't have long ques times they are just using the DF, and possibly think " I wish I had someone to do this with". You never know till you try, even may make friend in the process. I have used the PF asking for help doing some dungeons within minutes I had full parties. Don't think about it, just do it, you never know what will happen.
^this. @ OP - No way Your struggling with all these available assets provided aboveWays of getting good exp:
Do each guildhest once
Guildhest roulette
Low-level roulette
Challenge Log
Leves
Beast Tribe Quests when you get high enough
Hunting Log
Fates (maybe while waiting for queues)
Always use food +3% exp
FC buff if you can +5-10% exp
Rested bonus
